I was driving to class today when a concrete truck pulled out in front of me. He proceeded to lumber on at a solid ten under the limit. I eventually got away from it and got held up by a cyclist who was riding in the street when there is a bike trail just off the road on the otherside. Then I was stuck at a traffic light for two rounds because a car wanted to turn left into the UDF just before the intersection, but refused to make the turn until there were no cars with in a mile traveling the opposing direction. While at that light I saw five more concrete trucks. Why are there so many concrete trucks?

I live about 25 minutes outside of the city I live in. There are two ways to get from the main part of the city to where I live. One is a 4 lane divided highway, the other is an awesome 2 lane road with no passing zones. Guess which road all the slow idiots choose to use...
Even on the divided highway, you can't win. Traffic isn't created by too much volume, but by some waste of oxygen doing 45 in the left lane next to someone doing 45 in the right lane on a 55mph road.
I hate driving here...

There aren't enough non-sequitors to be an Andy Rooney rant. Concrete trucks suck. There is a massive construction site at the bottom of the hill I live on (one way street going down), so I usually wake up each day at 7AM to explosive downshifting.

UDF? Undivided Freeway? I feel slightly embarrassed for not knowing this, maybe I should have emailed that ghostride dude to ask you.

Andy Rooney is a personal favorite. When I get old and curmudgeonly, I want to be exactly like Andy Rooney.

I call that the old rolling road block...side by side, door to door, and 10 under.
Me: Well...shit.
Passenger: What?
Me: I see a rolling road block ahead.

As much as concrete trucks suck, my personal favorite are the people who somehow manage to be out-accelerated by a LOADED truck leaving a stoplight, UPHILL! I see one of these wastes of a perfectly viable ovum at least once a week...
